repentance – DisciplesNet

DisciplesNet Worship #744 Proper 13 – (Shaw 8.04.2024)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

When King David engaged in some horrible behavior, the Prophet Nathan was called to confront him about his sin. To David's credit, when he recognized what the prophet was saying, he confessed and began the hard process of repentance, knowing full well that the consequences of his actions would still follow him for the rest of his life.
Pastor Bob speaks to us from 2 Samuel 11:26-12:13 and helps us to see what we need to do when we are confronted with sin in our lives.
Join us for just under 29 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, and communion. You may choose to participate, or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me." If you would like to share with us at the table that goes beyond earthly boundaries of time, place, and structure, we ask that you prepare a piece of bread of some type and a drink such as grape juice, wine, or water. As we pray, our prayers extend to where you are. If you are unable to eat or drink, you may want to use a symbolic gesture or mental symbol as you come together at this table of remembrance with us.

DisciplesNet Worship #710: Advent 2B – (Shaw 12.10.2023)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

John the Baptizer's ministry took place out in the wilderness. The wilderness represents a place of testing, place where we stand revealed, and thus a place where repentance is necessary.
Pastor Bob speaks to us from Mark 1:1-8 and also refers to the children's book "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak to help us realize our own need to give God, not just the best, but all the rest as well.
Our worship service is 30 minutes of prayer, some favorite hymns, teaching, and communion.
You may choose to participate, or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me." If you would like to share with us at the table that goes beyond earthly boundaries of time, place, and structure, we ask that you prepare a piece of bread of some type and a drink such as grape juice, wine, or water. As we pray, our prayers extend to where you are. If you are unable to eat or drink, you may want to use a symbolic gesture or mental symbol as you come together at this table of remembrance with us.

We hope that as you join us for worship you will feel a blessing from being part. Please tell friends, family, and others you know about our online church that is here with doors that are always open, walls as wide as the world, and always room at the table.

DisciplesNet Worship #550: Advent 2 (Shaw 12.06.2020)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

The name of Ebenezer Scrooge has been associated with a bad attitude, especially toward Christmas since Charles Dickens wrote "A Christmas Carol." However, shouldn't he be associated with repentance from the last bit of that tale? Pastor Bob speaks from 2 Peter 3:8-15a and from Dicken's novel to help us appreciate the value of turning the right way, and how God's grace is shown in God's long-suffering.
Join us for just over 31 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, and communion. You may choose to participate, or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me."

DisciplesNet Worship #511: Lent 3 (Shaw 03.15.2020)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

There are points in our lives where we wonder if the struggle to live as God calls us is worth it. Maybe we've failed in some big way and we wonder if repentance is really still available. Pastor Bob looks at Moses' prayer for the people in Exodus 35:5-9 and the story of Zaccheus from Luke 19:1-10 to remind us that God is not finished with us.
Join us for just over 27 minutes of prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, preaching as well as communion.
